at around 650~ i was able to pull about 100deg of AoA
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
Cobra ~100deg
700+ any% except full load
The video was taken from live version on 15 Dec
Just like a said
Why test this maneuver further? My almost empty Su-27 could not make a 120deg cobra

i hope i am not misremembering things, but i feel like it got very close to doing it in dev server? or even did it?
On the dev server he did it completely differently
dev server Su-27 was completely different, you could fling yourself into a cobra then stall by just pressing elevator while rolling
better than the brick we have now, at least it was fun. the instructor actually pulled aoa in mouse control during that time. now it just turns bad in mouse aim period
You used to be able to pull good AOA with Su-27 without full control, on mouse aim before they made it garbage.
This was with missiles still attached and around 25 minute fuel load, ON MOUSE AİM.
At least it was fun, now you don’t even turn much but just lose all speed. (On mouse aim, I dropped SIM because red is basically David Vs Goliath in sim)

Because su30 is 2 crew and it reduces workload on the pilot
It’s a new bug
This can be done with full refueling and rockets. The fact is that for the cobra, you need to disable the G and AOA limit, as well as disable the pitch damper.But no one does with full fuel and weapons, you can break the plane
Do you know why SU-27SM is heavier than SU-27 in the game? Common logic would say that it should be lighter with newer electronics, removal of old analogue apparatuses being replaced with digital systems
Any idea?
Yet i havent seen a single official source that support this claim.
Without concrete evindence this is nothing but claim.
Also the fact people keep forgetting Warthunder doesnt have an option where you can switch off AoA limits which most likely explains why even clean Su-27 cant reach 120 degree.
Reinforcement of gear and fuselage AFAIK. Also new electronic equipment != lighter
No source is needed, just look at the aerodynamic moments and the control system
